The best holiday homes tend to be snapped up well ahead of school breaks, but there are still pockets of availability. Norfolk’s beaches, while popular, do not gather the crowds seen in Cornwall or Dorset, for example. Winterton-on-Sea has a wide, sandy beach meaning that even during a heatwave there’s plenty of space to lay down a towel. Old Church Barn in the village of East Somerton is a 10-minute walk from the beach, sleeps four and permits up to three dogs. A seven-night stay, arriving 25 July, is £1,189 (£297pp). There is also good availability in August with a week’s stay starting from £1,321 (£330pp).
